Poll - Sherwood - got rid

[pauliewalnuts]

Having a 'Sherwood-Get Rid' is all a bit, well Albion really.

It is The Way of the Web.

Anyone who thinks we are superior to other supporters in this respect is living in cloud cuckoo land.

I don't think there's been another club who have performed as consistently badly as we have for the last 5 that hasn't gone down, therefore comparisons with other clubs are irrelevant.

The only impressive thing about Villa in the last five years is the fact that, somehow, and fuck knows how when we're talking about a side which won 20 home games over five years, we have managed to avoid getting relegated.

That interview alone has changed my mind. Bye Tim

Re those comments about judge me on next season and that this season is about staying up!

Bloody hell he must be joking. Thats a complete 180 degree turn around on what he's been saying up to now and the clearest indicator (other than baffling team selection, tactics, substitutions and post match moments taking no responsibility) that he's making the whole thing up as he goes along.

I can't believe we're back here AGAIN.

Scary!

[Uknowthescore]

I'm in the undecided camp yes he's made some shocking decisions and yes he does seem tactically clueless, but if we get rid off him now were still in the shit as half the team are players he has bought. It's all a bit shit really would like to say give him till Xmas but would that be too late?

That's the bit I can't be doing with, he's such a fucking bullshitter.

I think people are forgetting the peculiar conditions which led to his appointment. We were in the process of being sold and are still, as far I know, up for sale. The owner has given no signal that things have changed in this respect.

Timah does not need the dosh as he is quids in from his investments and Foxy thought this was a perfect symbiosis for the transition.  All bets are on Tim. He might pull it off, you never know. If he doesn't, then we are going down.

[olaftab]

After years of shite, should we be looking within for reasons we're so crap?

How many time can you be wrong about a manager before you realise it's not actually the managers fault?

Always as clue is in the name "manage the job".

So, we weren't actually in the process of being sold, we were up for sale, surely? Different things.

[villan from luton]

He was great the other night with his tactical substitutions was he not ? Load of tosh and he needs to realise he is managing a great club in a bit of a state.

The point is that any incoming manager in such circumstances has far fewer guarantees, and this will limit the possible candidates. In this sense, it was tailor made for TS, who wants to prove a point.

[Percy McCarthy]

Did you seriously expect us to win away at Anfield today?

No. Even The Mighty Carlisle only managed a draw there.

Why do these managers have to try and be too clever at times.  I mean we hadn't won in ages.  Okay we were up against the Blues.  But we won and furthermore we won with a very fluent performance in the second half having made some key changes.  We are going to Liverpool who are (in relative terms) there for the taking. So just start with the side that finished Tuesday's game.  Try it you never know it might work.  What's the worse that could happen?  It doesn't work then you make changes again.  This is where I just don't understand what goes through their minds at times.

He messed up the other night and the praise he got from some is beyond me. That said the first goal was absurd, Milner was above the three of those central midfielders. That is not the managers fault but what is is the way we stood off a average team in crisis,

[Toronto Villa]

I honestly think his ego gets in the way of sound football decisions. Leicester is a good example. Rationally you would follow up the second goal with some conservative football. Keep the ball, add a defender or ideally a midfielder to stem the opponents attacks. Set up for the counter. Instead he thinks a forward is correct and the midfield opens up like a whores legs. Decisions on players, like continuing with systems or players that haven't worked or not trying those who might. Case in point, Ayew today, not including Kozak and playing Gabby. Persisting with Westwood or Lescott when other options are available.

He's someone that has seen what it takes to win a league title. He captained that side. He played with a number of very good players and under a manager who is a legend in the game. You'd think he'd have picked up that there is a time to attack and a time to set up another way because the game dictates it. Also, that playing to stop an opponent is every bit as dangerous as attacking as a sole strategy yet we've seen both from him to detrimental effect.

I would hope he's looking at himself in the mirror after games and analyzing with his coaches and players what he could have done better. I just don't see it because the same pig headed decisions and bone headed moves keep repeating themselves. And what's worse is that he follows them up with a load of balls in the post match interview and the following pre match news conference. It's just getting harder and harder to take week after week.

[kippaxvilla2]

and that to my mind at least underpins the reason why we should've stuck with the same team that finished on Tuesday night. Gana got criticised today but he was in France as recently as Monday getting his hamstring treated.  Therefore safe to assume he wasn't 100pc match fit.  But oh no we need to throw him straight back in.
